Don't know what kind of weight what your wanting to do might withstand but here's what we've did in dad's shop for comparison. He got 4x12 sheets of the 1/2 thick foil sided insulation.

We used the 1-3/4 long nails with the large plastic button heads with about 4 or 5 going into every place the sheet touched. So far it has withstood everything except for the shop cats getting into a fight toward the outside edge of a few of the pieces.

Good luck.
